Baobabs tree and Elephants

  BAOBABS TREES AND ELEPHANTS!  One of the things that fascinating about baobabs is that, they have got some elephant protection. Any other tree that is wounded by elephant can repair the damage only from the sides of the wound. The baobab regenerates the whole wound at the same time – it does not have to work from the outsides in. That makes them very successful as a tree.  The size of the tree varies, it can shrink and expand depending on its needs. In the dry season the trunk shrinks and when water is abundant, the trunk expands to support more water storage. Being so massive you would think that these trees are almost indestructible, but there is another giant in the bush that can cause great damage; the African elephant.  Elephants know that baobabs store water and especially in the dry season when water is scarce they look for baobab trees to quench their thirst. The bark of the baobab is soft enough for an elephant to poke a hole in the bark. Then it is easy t...

The courtship ritual of elephants includes a dance that seems like a combination of a flamenco and a funky chicken routine. Who knew elephants had such mad dancing Skills! - Once the mating ritual is complete (and if everything goes as planned), the baby-making magic happens! But hold your hor...

ANIMAL WARNING SIGN

  Dear Guides! You never know what happened to an animal prior to encountering them, so that’s why you should always be careful with all animals and treat them with respect. While animals are naturally cautious of humans, there are a number of situations or conditions which cause the animal to be compromised.  1.Animals that have been captive-reared.        such an animal has lost its natural fear of humans through positive reinforcement, such as feeding. This means that the animals behavior is less predictable than if it were raised in the wild.  2. Injured animals.            An injured animal will often behave in a desperate way, also making its behavior less predictable and more dangerous. 3. Animals with young.        Parents are naturally protective over their young and will attack if they feel their young are in danger.  Never experiment with dangerous animals or test them- If you want to de...
